This car received a very enthusiastic response from the automotive lovers who attended the exhibition, because of its aggressive shape and great power too.

Rimac C Two is designed by using 4 electric motors (and assisted by software to adjust its vector torque) to drive each tire paired with 1 gearbox in front and a pair of gearboxes in the rear complete with the cooling system. This configuration allows it to have instant high torque so that the car is able to accelerate simultaneously to reach top speeds as well.
When first introduced, Rimac C_Two has a very brutal power, which is almost 2,000 hp, exactly 1,914 hp. Like the Concept One, this car will most likely get upgraded until the final version. With such power and torque of 2,300 Nm, Rimac C_Two can accelerate from 0-100 kph for 1.85 seconds only! Can you imagined, how fast is this car?

Moreover, when the gas pedal is kept pressed, then the top speed that can be achieved is 412 kph. This increasingly makes the various circles of automotive activists optimists that the future of electric cars, especially hypercars looks very bright.
This car is designed such as a mid-engined supercar in general and adopts some other features, such as a pair of 'scissors' doors type with fairly simple cabin, there are only some panels made from carbon fiber and LCD for the indicator. The car's electrical system is operated by a lithium nickel manganese battery that can supply the power of 120 kWh.

When Rimac Concept One previously only produced and sold as many as 8 units only. It was different with Rimac C_Two is planned to be made as many as 150 units and projected to penetrate the United States homogeneous automotive market.
This is due to the success factor of the previous model and investor support that makes Rimac able to increase the number of employees and the factory. Reportedly, Rimac has been doubled the number of employees from 150 people to about 300 people. Uniquely most Rimac employees have an average age of 30 years, such as the company founder, Mate Rimac.
